Dead Indians Debts.
East OreoO1aaan.


"The debts of dead Indians are paid
by their relatives" said an ex-mer-
chant on Main street, Monday. "When
Anderson and Bernhardt," he contin-
ued, "killed an Indian several years
ago he owed me S345. Since that time
$3.50 of this amount has been paid me
by his relatives. Kentucky died the
other day owing me $50. Already his
relatives have approached me on the
subject and made arrangements to pay
the amount. 1t is law with them to
pay the debts of their dead relatives
and they never break it. am sure of
getting my money if an Indian dies
owing me, but when a white man dies,
leaving no property, no matter how
rich his relatives are, never expect to
get cent. There is great deal of
good about dead Indian, anyhow"
said the ex-merchant, as he closed his
and walked away.

A Startling Prediction.
Oincinnati OoIn,neTc;aI Gazette

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such craze about ma
tural gas as we have in this country
today. Gas wells were sunk with as
much vim and vigor as the celestials
were capable of, but owing to gas
explosion that killed several millions
of people and tore up and destroyed a
large district of country, leaving a
large inland sea known on the maps as
Lake Foo Chang, the boring of any
more gas wells was then aud there
prohibited by law. 1t seems, accord
ing to the Chinese history, that many
large and heavy pressure gas wells
were sunk, and in some districts wells
were sunk quite near to each other.
Gas was lighted as soon as struck, as
done in this country. 1t was stated
that one well with its unusual pressure,
by induction or back draught, pulled
down into the earth the burning gas OF
a smaller well, resulting in dreadful
explosion of large district, destroy
ing the inhabitants thereof. Lake Foo

How to Have Broilers.
AM Aorieultuyist.


Broilers have sold as high as 80 cents
per pound, wholesale, in the New York
markets this season. But it must be
kept in mind that only the best young
chicks bring high figures. Those who
make a speciality Of broilers are care
full to breed them to a certain stand
ard, so as to combine quality as well
as weight, which is done by mating
Plymouth Rock cocks with Asiatic
hens-Brahmas or Cochins. The chicks
must be dry picked and the skin not
torn, while the crops should be empty.
The plumper the breast the better.
The main object at first in raising
the best broilers is to secure growth.
The chicks are therefore fed on food
containing a plentiful supply of nitro
gen and phOsphates. No food is given
the newly Matched chicks before they
are SO hours old. The custom of feed
ing finely chopped eggs as the first
m cal has been abolished, experience
having taught that such food causes
bowel disease. A mixture of one part
corn meal, two parts ground oats, one
part middlings, and one part ground
meat, to which little salt and bone
are added, is mixed with boiling water
or milk and cooked in the shape of
bread. This is crumbled and fed to the
chicks every two hours, except that one
of the meals may consist of mashed
potatoes. After the first week, screen
ings, wheat and ground meat are kept
in troughs where the chicks can get
them at any time, while gravel and
water are kept within reach.
After few weeks they are fed only
three times day on the mixed food
only it may be scalded in
stead of cooked, though cooking is
preferable. Three times a week a.
small allowance of chopped meat, raw
Or cooked, is given, as well as chopped
cabbage or any convenient green food.

An Ancient House of Refuge.

.t- Troy Times
On the line of the Bennington and
Rutland railroad, near the village of
White Creek, is house which stands
in two states, New York and Vermont !;
three counties, Rensselaer, and Wash
ington, N. Y, and Bennington, and
four towns, Hoosick and White Creek in
this state and Bennington and Shafts
bury in Vermont. This curiOusly- 10
Gated house was built 80 years ago by
Col. Mather, and was intended as a
place of refuge for debtors. If an Off
Ger from HoOsick, Rensselaer, county,
should go after an impecunious debtor
who was fortunate enough to get I'M
der the hospital roof of the Mather
house, the prosecuted man had only to
step across the hall into SALISBURY,
Bennington county, and he could laugh
at his pursuer with impunity, or man
might murder another in the kitchen
and then walk in the parlOr and defy
anyone to touch him until the proper
papers were made out. Such con-
venient hotel as this must have had an
extensive patronage in the days of i'm
prisonment for debt. The only trOu-
BILE could have been the difficulty of
collecting the guests bills.

His Shores Betrayed Him.

A burglar ransacked the house of
H. A. Rapalyea at Winfield, l.. L.,
Wednesday night and secured whole
load of jewelry and clothing. Then he
went through the local depot and got
some money. Early yesterday MORN

money. He was arrested and locked
up.

of scholars enrolled, while the average
daily attendance was but 45,7O5. Al

Wife-BeaterS.

1t has been said that man is the only
animal which abuses its female that
every other animal shields and protects
it's weaker sex. This fact used to be
often proved among the wild horses
and bisons of the plains, whose male
would uniformly stand between its fe-
male and impending danger. What a
commentary is this upon wife heaters
and those beings made in Gods image
who by more refined cruelty make the
lives of their wives prolonged purga-
tory. The following paragraph from
a late number of the San Diego Union
has some sound sense. That delight
full and booming California town is by
no means alone in it's "needs" in this
particular direction:
At the last session of the American
Bar association, held in Saratoga, the
advisability of advocating the estab-
lishment of the whipping post for
wife heaters was discussed. There
was considerable objection to the in
novatiOB, on the ground that it was
inhuman. We believe there should be
but one opinion on the matter. 1t is
not considered inhuman to apply the
lash to She vicious beast, and as the
man who will beat a helpless woman is
worse than a brute, there ought to be
no objection to giving him some of the
corrective he is so fond of applying,
If the whipping post were established
in every state in the Union, the crime
of wife beating would be almost un
known, because of the fact that such
inhuman monsters are invariably cow
ards, and towards do not willingly in
vite physical suffering. We need Il
good serviceable post of this kind in
San Diego, and SO does nearly every
city and town in the country.
